[PATCH v2] change alloc function in alloc_slab_page

[Minchan Kim]

V2
* change changelog
* Add some reviewed-by 

alloc_slab_page always checks nid == -1, so alloc_page_node can't be
called with -1. 
It means node's validity check in alloc_pages_node is unnecessary. 
So we can use alloc_pages_exact_node instead of alloc_pages_node. 
It could avoid comparison and branch as 6484eb3e2a81807722 tried.
